It's All Wood For Me

blog anniversary, blogging, giveaway
Since I am more of a traditional type of girl, just give me wood, beautiful wood, for my blog's fifth anniversary.

Yep, none of that modern style which is silverware.

Just wood.

 




It is hard to believe I have been blogging for five years.

Here lately I have been limping along, but have found a renewed interest in blogging.

I cannot stay away from all of you.




My first selfie was my first blog photo.

I could have bothered to put on a little make up.









From the very beginning the real Distressed Donna has been with me.

She greets me when I drive up.


 
Standing in the middle of my driveway container garden.




Modern me.

I asked Chucks to take a new photo of me.

Strike one.

The sun was blazing.

Strike two.

I seem to always lean back when posing.

Strike three.

Photo is lousy.

There are no existing decent photos of me.

Really.





Since it is a big day for my little blog, I must come clean and admit I stretched the truth a tiny bit.

The Hoosier cabinet does not contain all of Horror Monster.

The sugar chest holds the rest of him.






Well, the sugar chest and all those bins.

Yes, I am staying around - blogging away.

Yes, you do remember I give away parts of Horror Monster for special occasions.

If you are interested and not afraid, say so in a comment below.

Make sure I know your email.

(Monkey and Sharon@Blue Willow House - to name two!)

I'll choose three names out of the proverbial hat.


See y'all!

  3. Five years! That is wonderful. I'm so glad we found each other's blogs and then realized we lived just a few hours apart. I've enjoyed our fun outings and always THE CAKE! I am NEVER afraid of junk or your Horror Monster! (I may even have contributed to it on occasion). Hugs!

  5. Congrats on the big 5! The original is a cute pic...love your expression. I always hated getting mine made. As a little girl even, I'm crying in photos when my Mother is trying to take a cutesy photo. Ha! So what's in those bins? Might have to add my name to the hat.

  7. I'm game...gimme a piece of that frightful horror monster!

    5 wonderful years of blogging! Wow! Congratulations!

    Yeah...make-up being paint smears, cobwebs, spider egg cases, and glitter bits {You DO know that there are pay-backs...}...this is all the make-up you need.

    I love old doll heads and other parts, too!

    I consider myself pretty lucky being your friend, so maybe I have a good chance at winning! Recently, I have won numerous books, $100 visa gift card, someone's craft room castaways, and more, I think. That's just in the last two months or so! Maybe my luck will remain..Horror Monster will always have a place in my home!

  21. I'm so glad that you are still blogging since you are one of my favorites. You are my hero for tackling Horror Monster like you have. I need to do that too in order to make way for my husbands pottery class projects.My rooms are already full with his ships in the bottle projects that he makes. Pretty soon there will be no place for my own stuff.Between his projects and mine and my flea market addiction what is a person to do?
